The invention relates to an electrically controlled
magnetic field flexible ballonet fluid-filled
polishing device and belongs to the field of flexible
machining tools for ultraprecise optical surfaces. The device comprises a flexible ballonet, rheological fluid, electromagnets, variable resistors, a circular carbon
brush, a rotating shaft, clamping grooves and the like. During work, each variable
resistor is adjusted to acquire the required current, power is supplied to each group of electromagnets, an
electric power conductor is connected with the outside through the circular carbon
brush; under the action of a comprehensive
magnetic field formed by the multiple electromagnets, the rheological fluid in the flexible ballonet becomes thick or approaches a
solid state, a working surface is in
copying contact with a workpiece, and the flexibility of the ballonet can be controlled through the magnitude of the current; the clamping grooves in the rotating shaft are used for fixing the device onto a power head of a common
machine tool to obtain driving power, so that the device rotates at high speed for
polishing. The
polishing device has the advantages of adjustable flexibility of a tool head, controllable
magnetic field and high adaptability to surface curvature change, and can meet the requirement for quickly polishing ultra smooth free curved surfaces.
